Tiananmen Square protests

Two days ago marked the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square
protests in Beijing, China. The iconic image from that day of one
student, alone standing infront of the tanks:

Not a long post today, just short little factoids of the protests.The causes; Death of Hu Yaobang (a reformer and
liberalist), Inflation, Political corruption of the Chinese Communist
party, lack of career prospects, and the fall of Communism in Eastern
Europe.Two main opposing sides; The Communist party of
China & The People’s Lberation Army against the University students,
Factory workers and Liberalists/Democrats.The End results were; the Army intervening, protests suppressed, reforms to make a free Market in China delayed.The number of deaths varies; from the Chinese Red
Cross stating 2,600 dead (however not inside the square) to the Chinese
Goverments figure of 241 deaths. It is clear from these difference and
the fact the Chinese goverment has attempted to censor this incident
ever since that we cannot trust the figure the goverment gives.

Thanks so much for the comments, I love reading all of them and really appreciate every comment I receive.
